Phase-charge

Phase-charges are explosive Autobot munitions.

Fiction

IDW Generation 1 continuity

During the reign of Zeta Prime, Orion Pax and a group of Autobots were sent into the Torus-City of Nyon to track down Swindle, who was selling stolen phase-charges to the local neutralists. Catching him in the middle of a deal, a firefight ensued and although they were able to apprehend Swindle, the Autobots appeared to be the aggressors in the eyes of the local population—which led to them being targeted by another neutralist with one of the plasma-charges soon afterwards.

Notes

• Following the phase-charge's detonation, Hound recognised it by the smell of the "plasma-residue".
